Optimizing Growth Conditions and Biochemical Properties of Chondracanthus acicu...

This study aimed to evaluate the laboratory cultivation of Chondracanthus acicu laris, focusing on key environmental parameters such as nutrient levels and light exposure. The results provide insights into the optimal growth conditions and biochemical com position of C. acicularis, which are crucial for its sustainable exploitation in industrial applications. Significant differences in the relative growth rate ...

Effectiveness of specific scapular therapeutic exercises in patients with shoul...

Therapeutic exercise has been considered a useful tool to rehabilitate shoulder pain, namely through its influence on scapular dynamics. Accordingly, the effectiveness of scapular therapeutic exercise needs to be explored. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of scapular therapeutic exercises in shoulder pain and to identify the most effective exercise type (focal or multijoint) and ways of deli...

Scapular motor control and upper limb movement quality in subjects with and wit...

Despite the existence of several studies about the scapula’s position and motion, in shoulder pain conditions, there are still conflicting findings regarding scapular adaptations and reduced research about the scapula’s role during functional tasks. The present study aimed to compare scapular-related kinematic and electromyographic outcomes during different shoulder movements (with and without load) and the dri...

O CONTRIBUTO DA CASA DO MONTADO PARA A CONSERVAÇÃO DA BIODIVERSIDADE

Este estudo decorreu na Casa do Montado, situada em Évora, Portugal, um espaço de ensino não formal que recebe visitantes de todo o mundo. Este tipo de ensino é fiel aos valores de construção de identidade coletiva e promove a compreensão das diferenças em distintos contextos culturais. Assim sendo, a pesquisa pretende verificar o contributo da Casa do Montado para a conservação da biodiversidade, desde sua ina...

Feedforward postural adjustments before single leg droplanding in subjects with...

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) involves deregulation of feedforward postural control. But the analysis of feedforward mechanisms, including early and anticipatory postural adjustments, in tasks close to the mechanisms of injury is still missing.

Interlimb coordination during double support phase of gait in people with and w...

This study aims to identify differences between participants with and without stroke regarding the ipsilesional and contralesional lower limbs kinematics, kinetics, muscle activity and their variability during double support phase of gait. Eleven post-stroke and thirteen healthy participants performed 10 gait trials at a self-selected speed while being monitored by an optoelectronic motion capture system, two f...

Repeatability and temporal consistency of lower limb biomechanical variables ex...

Reliable biomechanical methods to assess interlimb coordination during the double-support phase in post-stroke subjects are needed for assessing movement dysfunction and related variability. The data obtained could provide a significant contribution for designing rehabilitation programs and for their monitorisation. The present study aimed to determine the minimum number of gait cycles needed to obtain adequate...

The influence of shoulder position during multi-joint exercises in the relative...

Scapular muscles changes, as increased upper trapezius activity and decreased middle and lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscle activity, have been demonstrated in shoulder pain specific or non-specific conditions. Shoulder external rotation exercises have been recommended to improve scapular activity in shoulder pain. To evaluate the relative scapular muscles activity during multi-joint exercises combini...
